Food and drink manufacturers have never faced a more complex planning environment.

Ingredient shortages, climate change, geopolitical instability, inflationary pressures, reformulation requirements, changing consumer demands, workforce shortages and shifting retailer specifications can turn a carefully constructed business plan upside down overnight.

In this environment, is traditional strategic planning still fit for purpose?

This session will explore how manufacturers are moving beyond fixed annual plans and embracing more resilient, flexible approaches to strategy.

Attendees will leave with practical frameworks for managing uncertainty, improving organisational agility and making better decisions for the future.
